Dynamic Reconfiguration Of FPGA Nodes In A Distributed Computing System: A Preliminary Investigation

Abstract

This report results from a contract tasking Trinity College, Dublin to investigate a specialized portion of a heterogeneous information system, specifically, Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA)-based nodes. New computing architectures will be investigated that can specify and dedicate FPGA processing elements (FPE) that take advantage of application/algorithm dependent dataflow. This research will be presented in three interim reports, describing the integration of a FPGA system and a Corba control architecture as detailed in the technical proposal. As well, a final specification, design and evaluation report will be delivered.
